The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.

Why are they irresponsible boneheads? Why is it irresponsible to comply with someone stealing from you? I only comply with the income tax out of fear.
The IRS is America's Gestapo. It should be abolished. The 16th amendment should be repealed. The federal government does not have the moral authority to steal. They just have more and bigger guns and can kill people with impunity.
Just like a common criminal, they stick a gun in your face and you VOLINTARILY give them your possessions. That’s our gubment.

They probably know only one verse- that ‘render unto Caesar’ deal is popular with leftists. Probably the only Bible verse they know by memory.
The District Court held that section 11 of the [1934 National Firearms] Act violates the Second Amendment. It accordingly ... quashed the indictment. ...That was then. 1) Miller's indictment was quashed, and 2) the Supreme Court had no evidence regarding the efficacy of short barrel shotguns, and because it had no evidence, it COULD NOT SAY whether or not the 2nd amendment protected the forbidden weapon. If a Court had evidence that a short barrel shotgun met any of the several criteria the Supreme Court outlined, and if it followed the instructions of the Miller case, it would find, as did the court below in the Miller case, that the 1934 NFA ban on short barrel shotguns was unconstitutional.In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a barrel of less than eighteen inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense.
Fast forward to 2008, and behold the Supreme Court butchering its own precedent.
The judgment in the [Miller] case upheld against a Second Amendment challenge two men's federal convictions for transporting an unregistered short-barreled shotgun in interstate commerce, in violation of the National Firearms Act ... It is entirely clear that the Court's basis for saying that the Second Amendment did not apply was ... that the type of weapon at issue was not eligible for Second Amendment protection.
My point being that the federal government is corrupt to the core. It draws it's "legitimacy" only from the credible threat of use of force against its subjects. It's position as superior against the people is morally void.
They can do it through peaceful means, not violence against citizens.
Typo correction: The Fair Tax will replace all federal income taxes with a national sales tax and abolish the IRS.
Because IRS agents couldn't hit the side of a barn with a rifle? Or maybe they are going squirrel hunting?
According to my Mossberg catalog law enforcement is going to
the 14” shotgun because squad cars have become smaller and
this size works better to store and access.
LOL! What are they gonna do when Obama’s EPA decrees all squad cars must be Cooper Minis?

Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s. Taxation is not theft — excessive taxation is theft. The people are Constitutionally required to pay for the proper functions of government ... particularly national security.
>> The IRS is America’s Gestapo. It should be abolished. The 16th amendment should be repealed. The federal government does not have the moral authority to steal. They just have more and bigger guns and can kill people with impunity.
I agree with the abolishment of the income tax — but you can’t abolish all taxes. The IRS can be abolished for all I care — but, even when the government functions properly, there will always have to be an agency in charge of collecting taxes and there will always have to be punishments for non-compliance with whatever tax is in place.
A law without a consequence for violation is not a law ... taxes should be as low as possible, but cannot be optional.

You need to order the roof mount kit. Then you’re all set!
Most of the time, they can do it peacefully ... usually they do.
Sometimes they can’t do it through peaceful means. There is a lot of corruption in the IRS ... but there are also a lot of people that intentionally evade taxes or ignore tax laws, and some that violently resist collection. When met with violence, a guy with a briefcase won’t due.

Get a bigger truck.
Like I tell my kids. Every year I pay my taxes at gunpoint. This just proves that I am right.
would it be irony if you didn’t pay your $200 tax for a short-barreled shotgun and the IRS came to collect... with a short -barreled shotgun?
Why is this RFI/RFQ/RFP procurement process even being used? It’s sure to add a few hundred percent to the purchase price. Just go straight to Remington and negotiate a volume discount. Even spec’d out the way they are, the overall price per unit can’t be much more than $500 per copy. With all the bid nonsense added in, they’ll easily go to $2K-3K each. The overall bid is probably worth less than $50K. What a waste of time and money.
Our new tax collector!
Beyond the fact that the IRS is armed at all, I don’t see a problem here. I can buy pretty much the same weapon (I think my barrels have to 18” or longer) so what’s the big deal?
Now if they were buying RAWs, Bradleys, LAVs, and/or helicopter gunships, and running their auditors through urban assault training, I’d have an issue.
